Trying To Come Up With Names For Our Ninth Child
from The Garrett Ashley Mullet Show · host Garrett Ashley Mullet
My wife Lauren and I are expecting our ninth child in November. That may seem like a long way off, but we are talking about possible name choices. To the end of helping us to brainstorm, and ultimately make a decision, I have built a spreadsheet, complete with our first eight children's first and middle names, their meanings, what initials are used up thus far, and how many times each letter of the alphabet occurs for those initials, and even how many syllables there are to each name. In this way, I have identified all the letters of the English alphabet which we have not used any names starting with, and come up with possible choices which would at least part-ways diversify our family along those lines. After all, God's Word tells us a good name is a very precious thing, so it's well worth the time and attention invested, even if thinking outside the box occasionally reminds my wife and I of why there are boxes in the first place, since not everything should go in them. Verses to Ponder: "A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth." - Ecclesiastes 7:1 "A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold." - Proverbs 22:1
